Le metamorfosi del corale "Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her" fra Lutero, Bach e Stravinsky
2020
Il corale matalizio "Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her" (Dall'alto dei cieli io giungo) è stato realizzato da Martin Lutero sulla base della melodia popolare "Ich komm aus fremden Landen her" e fu pubblicato per la prima volta a Wittenberg nel 1535. Assai diffuso in tutta l'area culturale tedesca, questo brano è stato ripreso, tra gli altri, anche da J.S. Bach, sia nel "Weinachts-Oratorium" BWV 248 che nelle "Canonische Veraenderungen" per organo BWV 796 e 796a. Il saggio ricostruisce il contesto in cui vide la luce la versione originale del canto natalizio e si sofferma sull'interesse di Bach per la numerologia e sulle "citazioni nascoste" in molte sue opere, incluse le "Veraenderungen" sul …
Pero Tafur y Bertrandon de la Broquière en Constantinopla : la imagen ceremonial de María de Trebisonda y los encuentros diplomáticos en torno al con…
2018
Tras la caída de Constantinopla (1453), Pero Tafur y Bertrandon de La Broquière difunden sus libros de viajes, dos de los más importantes europeos escritos en el siglo XV. Ambos habían conocido, entre quince y veinte años antes, al emperador de Grecia, Juan VIII Paleólogo, al Papa Eugenio IV y a otros protagonistas de los concilios de Basilea (1431-1434) y Ferrara-Florencia (1438-1439), que decretaron la unión entre las iglesias romana y griega. Los viajeros fueron, así, testigos, pero también informantes y diplomáticos activos para los intentos de unión religiosa y política, que trató de reavivar el Papa Pio II tras la caída de Constantinopla (1453). Tafur y La Broquière conocieron en Cons…
"VIVI" Opere di Massimo Palumbo

Massimo Palumbo presenta nella sede dei Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa, oggi al centro di un am…
Theoretical and experimental developments in quantum spin liquid in geometrically frustrated magnets: a review
2019
The exotic substances have exotic properties. One class of such substances is geometrically frustrated magnets, where correlated spins reside in the sites of triangular or kagome lattice. In some cases, such magnet would not have long-range magnetic order. Rather, its spins tend to form kind of pairs, called valence bonds. At $$T \rightarrow 0$$ these highly entangled quantum objects condense in the form of a liquid, called quantum spin liquid (QSL). The observation of a gapless QSL in actual materials is of fundamental significance both theoretically and technologically, as it could open a path to creation of topologically protected states for quantum information processing and computation…
Diagonalization of large matrices: a new parallel algorithm.
2015
On the basis of a dressed matrices formalism, a new algorithm has been devised for obtaining the lowest eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenvector of large real symmetric matrices. Given an N × N matrix, the proposed algorithm consists in the diagonalization of (N - 1)2 × 2 dressed matrices. Both sequential and parallel versions of the proposed algorithm have been implemented. Tests have been performed on a Hilbert matrix, and the results show that this algorithm is up 340 times faster than the corresponding LAPACK routine for N = 10(4) and about 10% faster than the Davidson method. The parallel MPI version has been tested using up to 512 nodes. The speed-up for a N = 10(6) matrix is fair…
Theoretical Biology and Evolutionary Theory
2015
During the nineteen-sixties and seventies, several biologists made decisive contributions to the development of evolutionary thought and theoretical biology, smoothly bridging the gap between science and humanities, and overcoming the classic antagonism Snow claimed to exist between the two worlds. Scientists like Jacob , Lorenz , Monod , Rensch , von Bertalanffy or Waddington , to whom I pay homage here, are a select group of scientists pertaining to the so-called third culture, who have staged a scientific assault on Natural Philosophy—the forerunners of subsequent science popularisers such as Dawkins , Gould , Penrose , Gell-Mann or Pinker . Finally I call for a more detailed study of th…

The continuous Berth Allocation Problem in a container terminal with multiple quays
2015
We propose an integer linear model for the case of BAP with multiple quays.We design several constructive procedures and propose a large set of priority rules.We design a genetic algorithm, using the solutions obtained by the priority rules.For BAP with one quay, our genetic algorithm outperforms the best published methods. This paper extends the study of the continuous Berth Allocation Problem to the case of multiple quays, which is found in many container terminals around the world. Considering multiple quays adds a problem of assigning vessels to quays to the problem of determining berthing times and positions for each incoming vessel.This problem has not been considered in the literatur…
Explicit Recursive and Adaptive Filtering in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces
2014
This brief presents a methodology to develop recursive filters in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Unlike previous approaches that exploit the kernel trick on filtered and then mapped samples, we explicitly define the model recursivity in the Hilbert space. For that, we exploit some properties of functional analysis and recursive computation of dot products without the need of preimaging or a training dataset. We illustrate the feasibility of the methodology in the particular case of the $\gamma$ -filter, which is an infinite impulse response filter with controlled stability and memory depth. Different algorithmic formulations emerge from the signal model. Experiments in chaotic and elect…
Estimating biophysical variable dependences with kernels
2010
This paper introduces a nonlinear measure of dependence between random variables in the context of remote sensing data analysis. The Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC) is a kernel method for evaluating statistical dependence. HSIC is based on computing the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of the cross-covariance operator of mapped samples in the corresponding Hilbert spaces. The HSIC empirical estimator is very easy to compute and has good theoretical and practical properties. We exploit the capabilities of HSIC to explain nonlinear dependences in two remote sensing problems: temperature estimation and chlorophyll concentration prediction from spectra. Results show that, when the relationshi…
